Pitch report:
The tracks in Dubai have produced a decent contest between bat and ball, and it is likely to be the same for this game. The dew is expected to leave its impact on the contest. Further, the chasing side has won nine of the ten Super 12 matches here, so batting second would be ideal for the team that wins the toss.
Probable XIs:
England: Eoin Morgan (c), Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Tymal Mills
Australia: Aaron Finch (c), David Warner, Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Marsh, Matthew Wade, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

Case 1:
- ENG wins the toss and bowls first
- Powerplay score: 40-50
- AUS total: 145-155
Case 2:
- AUS wins the toss and bowls first
